Xtables-addons is the proclaimed successor to patch-o-matic(-ng). Itcontains extensions that were not accepted in the main Xtablespackage.

Xtables-addons is different from patch-o-matic in that you do nothave to patch or recompile either kernel or Xtables(iptables). Butplease see the INSTALL file for the minimum requirements of thispackage.

All code imported from patch-o-matic has been reviewed and allapparent bugs like binary stability across multiarches, missingsanity checks and incorrect endianess handling have been fixed,simplified, and sped up.
